Always check the old front loaders, even if not to be shot.
Back in the late '60s, I did the 'rod test' on an old Springfield, for a friend. It was his family's gun, brought back from the Civil War and had been in an attic most of the years since. Well the rod test indicated the old girl was loaded ! So we took a rod from one of my long rifles and with a screw/worm, tried to draw 'the charge'. Turned out 'the charge' was a mud-dauber's nest, but you never know!
